Some time ago I entered a contest by a blogger I follow. His blog Collecting vinyl records is perhaps the most extensive blog on Music/ Records out there. The effort he puts into his blog is amazing. in the year or so that I have followed him I have obtained valuable and entertaining information. When I saw his contest for $25.00 gift certificate to the online store SoundstageDirect.com I jumped on it. Wadda ya know we won. I never win anything. I gave Erin the gift certificate as this store has great "new" vinyl of many current as well as classic rock bands. The biggest surprise of all was a "free" copy of his E-book Collecting Vinyl Records.
I have seen the ad on his front page numerous times and considered purchasing it for the low low price of 6.99 but I'm leery of those things. No offense but I have seen lots of crazy yahoos selling their Ebooks and they are about 10 pages of what any idiot knows on the subject. When I downloaded the link sent to me I was astounded to say the least. up popped 195 pages of everything any record collector would want to know. A dissertation on the fine art of Vinyl Collecting. He covers it all. Maybe even too much but too much is not really a bad thing.
This E-Book is a must for new collectors. If we had this book when we first started selling , it would have saved us years of mistakes. Yes now I do know most of the information on the 195 pages but it makes for a great read for me too. Its written in a style that reminds me of talking to a Record Geek at a record show. Yes this man is KING of the record geeks and I say that with much reverence.
Buy this book. You wont regret it!!!
That's awesome! I've neglected the blog! And I've missed so much because of it. I'll be back. This is so cool, I can't believe I didn't know this until now. Congrats on winning!
